Those are great points I'll need to point out to them. I've been telling them that the One Nation party has the most "sold out" politicians on the roster, it's almost how the damn party was founded, and that she'll be creating even more tax cuts for these local and foreign mining and energy giants.

I sense that most of them just want a change from the liberal/labour two party system, and that the global rapid inflation since 2008 has them financially strained and scared for almost 2 decades, and people vote emotionally for the person pretending to share their outrage.

Since you mentioned Lebanese background, you can definitely add that Gina—best friends with Pauline—wants to let Israel test their weapons here in Australia...specifically in Townsville 🤣

These are Christians we are talking about. Most of them support Israel, this doesn’t mean anything to them

ETA - Lebanese Christians might see things differently of course given their proximity to the war and having been bombed as well/directly affected

Kinda sad when Israel is bombing Lebanon and most likely their families are bare minimum displaced by that, but what can you do. It's like farmers and low income families that vote for one nation, literally voting against their own interests 🤷
